My quick rating - 7.4/10. Not quite an 8 but definitely better than a 7. Just the bit about the "slap heard around the world" was worth watching the whole set to hear. Other than that part, it is his basic stand-up routine, which I personally find pretty funny. If you aren't a fan of his in general, you won't get anything out of this. Currently streaming on Netflix . I kept it as well since it was damn funny. Chris Rock: Selective Outrage (2023) #comedy #jackmeatsflix #IMDB

My quick rating - 6.6/10. Ok, this movie is insane. Read the review, and you will either be running out to find it, or you will know damn well you have ZERO interest in it. You will have to appreciate Japanese flicks to get anything out of this. Let me try to explain. Aliens drop in on our planet, and these parasitic creatures attach to the head of a human and assimilate themselves with the body, turning anything it touches into a part of the creature created. This is shown i

My quick rating - 6.6/10. I thought Searching was pretty good, so I am looking forward to their next flick. This one is in the same vein as the first and only loses points from me on the fact that it is basically the same flick. The original premise of solving a mystery through free online means only is still novel enough to work with, but this is so much like Searching . The difference being, instead of a kidnapping, we have Storm Reid home alone while her parents go on va

My quick rating - 6.7/10. I have been looking forward to this one for a while, but not for the reasons as most of you. I read it was the last flick starring Ray Liotta , and I have always been a big fan of his. What a quirky cast of characters this one has. The movie itself is just a fun ride that takes its turn into the violent category when it wants to catch you by surprise. I can see why our fun little bear got to be a guest on the Oscars this year LOL. Honestly, the movie

My quick rating - 4.9/10. All I needed to read was "H.P. Lovecraft goes Arctic!" for me to drop this one on the tube. Oh boy, the creatures are bad. Some kind of fish people, it appears to be, although it really looks like some Halloween store quality costumes. As silly as they look, it is effective for them to be minions for a greater evil that is going on. It would have been easy to get distracted by the goofy creatures, but as you continue watching, the movie does dive dee

My quick rating - 3.2/10. Well, this movie was bad. I thought the premise sounded decent enough: "Told over one horrifying night, Deviation will take you on a white-knuckle journey into the mind of Frank Norton." OK, Frank ( Danny Dyer ) is an escaped murderer. Good start, and he takes Amber ( Anna Walton ) hostage. So far, you have a movie brewing. WRONG. After this, it is the boredom of silence in between Frank killing people in boring ways for no apparent reason. The film

My quick rating - 5.6/10. The summary sounded interesting enough. Nice intro to grab my attention, as well as showing Lucifer being defeated by Michael and cast down to the depths of hell. Yeah, I saw the Shroud of Turin when it made its way through Chicago at the Museum of Science & Industry, and I can ASSURE you the security was a whole hell of a lot stiffer than this movie is portraying LOL. Oh, a bit further into the flick, hell happens to be a couple of hundred feet belo

My quick rating - 6.3/10. I admittedly never did watch the TV series featuring Idris Elba on the BBC, which is unfortunate. This thriller jumps right in with both feet at an alarmingly fast pace. The story is thrown at you very quickly, so paying attention at the start is a must. The plot itself isn't confusing nor remotely plausible, but will help understand what is happening. Elba already plays an established character and I assume I am missing a bunch but I gather he is a

My quick rating - 2.9/10. Take every poor aspect possible for a movie. Think really hard, close your eyes, and imagine. OK, you pictured a clown. A really small clown, chasing around a bunch of horrible actors and actresses. Killing them, of course, in non-fantastic ways. This movie is missing everything you would want. If you, like me, were hoping for Eric Roberts running around slasher film style killing half-naked women, then you are SOL. Instead, you have a silly-looking

My quick rating - 6.4/10. Last #Oscars2023 nominee for me to catch before the show. Avatar The Way of Water isn't available quite yet. I will say upfront, I have no idea what this is even about, and obviously have not read the book, so I am going in completely blind. I did a quick bit of reading to enlighten myself on the subject since the conversations seemed a bit too "real" to me. Took no time to find this: " The film is a striking interpretation of a novel that is loosel

My quick rating - 2.9/10. There must've been something interesting about this one to make me put a found footage flick on my Radarr list. They do have a damn good quality camera, that is for sure. I didn't realize that was the spoiler, a great camera. But after that first 45 minutes of meeting the people on this trip, it turned into a constant black screen with an occasional flashlight spot. But don't worry, since complete darkness will be accompanied by constant screaming fo

My quick rating - 5.5/10. Tons of potential here, but absolutely doesn't live up to the ideas they had. Mia Goth wasted a really good performance on this one. You can check this one out on most streamers for $9.99 currently. Infinity Pool (2023) #horror #IMDB #Plex

My quick rating - 6.4/10. I definitely enjoyed that one more than I was expecting. We get a very believable Gerard Butler as a pilot who happens to get the unfortunate flight through a minefield of a storm and a convict, Mike Colter , as a passenger. I think the poster clues you in on the fact that the plane goes down, and they have to team up to try and not only survive, but save the passengers. The effects in this one, as far as said crash landings, look extremely good, es

My quick rating - 4.5/10. Another one marred by a stupid ending. All I could think of after it got rolling was a cross between Troll (1986) and Puppet Master . This horror flick is about a married couple, Maya ( Hannah John-Kamen ) and Jamie ( Douglas Booth ), who move to rural Ireland to start a new life after being targeted by a home invasion back in the city. However, their peaceful existence is soon shattered when they discover malevolent goblins lurking in the ancient w

My quick rating - 4.4/10. SO boring. If it wasn't for a really good performance by Anna Kendrick , it might be a #turkey. I think even I am being too generous with this one since so little happens throughout this whole flick. The whole thing is a very subtle cry for help by Kendrick as her "man" ( Charlie Carrick ) is controlling her life. We see these moments happen through occasional flashbacks while she is on a trip with her girlfriends for a birthday weekend. It is quite

My quick rating - 8.0/10. I have already heard great things about this Oscar nominee. And for very good reason, as two things stuck out to me. First is the fact that you will have to be in the right kind of mood for this flick. The second is the incredible performances by Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson . You have to realize this is a dark comedy that explores the complex dynamics of friendship and the devastating consequences that can arise when those relationships break

My quick rating - 6.0/10. Good to start out right away with a creepy Dave Bautista . The flick presents an intriguing premise with its mix of hostage drama and apocalyptic themes. The film follows a family on vacation, who are unexpectedly taken hostage by armed strangers. As the situation unfolds, the family is presented with a life-altering choice that could potentially avert the end of the world. The performances of the cast are generally solid, with Bautista doing a comm

My quick rating - 5.0/10. I never did check out the TV show on Roku , so I am going solely off of this flick, which I guess is the episodes edited into movie form. Seems the latest trend for stars is to make a parody of themselves. There are far better examples of this happening lately after JCVD got the whole idea started. This flick follows Kevin Hart 's fictionalized journey to become an action movie star. The film revolves around his enrollment in a school run by Ron Wi

My quick rating - 5.4/10. Looks like this one is going to be a B-budget anthology of sorts. Whispering Hollow Road is story number one and sees an "older guy picking up a stranded girl" story. We already see what it is he likes to film shortly before finding this new girl. Most of the time, they'll make it look like the car is moving with scenes out the window, maybe shaking the car. Not this movie. Just dead black and doesn't even bother trying to make it look like movement
